D'Academy or DA (lit. 'Dangdut Academy') is the second present and second largest dangdut music talent show in Indonesia.^[1] Production is conducted by Indosiar Production Team (November 2015 - March 2016) and Indonesia Entertainmen Produksi [id] (April 2016 - December 2017). The show is one of the most successful talent competition shows in Indonesia. The show's success has resulted in the creation of two spin-off series, those being D 'Academy Celebrity, which features celebrities, and D' Academy Asia, which features contestants from around Southeast Asia.

DA is open for any Indonesian citizens between the ages of 15 and 28 who are not already signed to a record label. All participants who successfully pass the audition process receive training in the form of choreography, vocal performance, personality and fashion advice from some experts in their respective fields, such as Hamdan ATT, Nassar, Uncle Jo, Adibal Sahrul, Dedi Puja, and Mislam. Participants are gradually eliminated every week until the grand final night. The performance of participants is judged by the judges such as Iis Dahlia, Inul Daratista, Rita Sugiarto, Elvy Sukaesih, Saipul Jamil, Hetty Koes Endang, Beniqno, and Dewi Perssik,^[2] as well as by the viewers and fans via SMS voting. In each episode, participants with the lowest SMS vote amount will be eliminated. The overall winner of the competitions gets a cash prize of 150 million rupiah (roughly $10,000 USD) and a car. For the third season, the cash prize was upped to 250 million rupiahs (roughly $15,000 USD). In addition, the winner is entitled to a management contract with Stream Entertainment, as well as a recording opportunity to launch a single or an album through 3D Entertainment, a dangdut label.
